While I do not have Darla's names, I am interested in her question because I also have Crawford County families who moved to Kansas, in the 1870s (some in the late 1860s I think). Mainly LUPHER (who mostly did not stay there but came back to Crawford Co) and COBURN (who did stay there). In fact, Kansas was where these got connected to my TAYLOR and AYRES, who were actually from Ohio but had also gone to Kansas. I guess my question is, why Kansas, what was the attraction? Do others have families from Crawford who went there around this time? Jan
